Top 40 questions in coupled human and natural systems (CHANS) research

Ecology and Society, 2017
Understanding and managing coupled human and natural systems (CHANS) is a central challenge of the 21st century, but more focus is needed to pursue the most important questions within this vast field given limited research capacity and funding.

A conceptual framework to evaluate human-wildlife interactions within coupled human and natural systems

Ecology and Society, 2014
Landscape characteristics affect human-wildlife interactions. However, there is a need to better understand mechanisms that drive those interactions, particularly feedbacks that exist between wildlife-related impacts, human reaction to and behavior as a

Modeling human behaviour in coupled human and natural systems [PDF]

, 2019
Humans have a major impact on what the world looks like today. The challenge for modern humans is to counter the undesirable changes that affect our collective well-being, such as climate change, land degradation and rapid decline of global biodiversity.

Understanding coupled human and natural systems in a changing world [PDF]

Frontiers of Earth Science in China, 2010
It is now widely accepted that global change and human disturbances, such as global warming, economic globalization, population growth, and government policy changes are putting great pressures on the ecoenvironment worldwide. The impacts of land degradation, soil erosion, air and water pollution, biodiversity loss, and increased greenhouse gas ...

Root morphological traits and dissolved organic carbon regulate root exudation during orchard development

Industrial Crops and Products
Root exudation is a key interface in plant-soil interactions and strongly influences nutrient cycling within orchard ecosystems. However, how root exudation varies with orchard age and what ecological factors drive these shifts remain insufficiently ...
